Best Volvo Bertone Coupe collection in the world?
If we understand this ad correctly, this person has no fewer than four Volvo Bertone Coupes for sale, spanning two (well, both) generations of the product. Bottom line: These are all pretty awesome in their own strange ways. The 262, in particular, was an odd, 70s attempt at Swedish luxury. Click for Craigslist ad 1988…
